On behalf of our faculty and staff, welcome to the School of Medicine Office of Education. The Office of Education was created in the School of Medicine in 2012. The office brings together and represents the many diverse educational programs in the School of Medicine that cover the continuum of education from beginning learners in a discipline all the way through practicing providers, and provides a central administrative structure for leadership, advocacy, and support for educational programs.
The Mission, Vision, and Values statements for the Office of Education were updated in 2019 to reflect growth and changes in our programs, as well as to re-emphasize our goals and values. Consistent with our commitment to inclusiveness and teamwork, these statements were created by an Office of Education working group consisting of both faculty and staff, who represented and sought input from the entire Office of Education team. The Mission, Vision, and Values statements are as follows:
Our mission is to provide a healthy learning environment dedicated to excellence, inclusion, and diversity. We strive to fulfill the health needs of all New Mexicans, provide quality innovative resources, and foster lifelong learning.
The Office of Education will lead the University of New Mexico’s School of Medicine as an innovative institution with high expectations where people want to work and study, and it will promote practicing medicine and health care in all communities of New Mexico.
Our most important value is the unwavering commitment to the pursuit of knowledge, equality, transparency, and respect. We strive as an institution to encourage personal and professional development, and to uphold the highest standards in all our actions.
